Silver Mountain

Beautiful, scenic vista of the Upper Peninsula await the hearty souls willing to climb the 250 plus boulder strewn steps to the top of Silver Mountain. The stairs are a rugged climb, and the site offers few amenities, so come prepared. Silver Mountain offers excellent opportunities to view migrating birds of prey (raptors). In May-June and again in September-October, watch broad winged and red-tail hawks soaring on the strong updrafts. Small sharp-skinned hawks and American kestrels are also common here.
